JAPANESE SHRIMP ONIGIRI RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Add 1/2 cup of flour and the cold water and whisk to combine.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator.
• Add the remaining flour to a shallow dish. Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350 degrees F.
• Dip the floured shrimp into the chilled batter.
• Fry the shrimp until they float to the top and are golden brown in color.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• In a medium pan, combine the dashi, soy sauce, and mirin, and bring to a boil over high heat. Transfer to a small bowl.
• To make the onigiri rice balls, first wet your palms with water and coat with a little bit of salt.
• Take a handful of rice and make an indent in the middle.
• Dip a shrimp into the soy sauce mixture, then place in the center of the rice.
• Wrap the rice around the shrimp, creating a triangle shape.
• Wrap a strip of seaweed around the rice ball. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
